Doddie here:

If Harry/McConogal are to be forgiven for their casting of 
unforgivables...then why not Narcissa for saying, "that's Harry 
&co."...Her son did not...Draco kept her in check in this 
instance..and although we like to believe that Cissy would do 
anything to keep her family safe...she still refuses the dark mark, 
and better yet after all these years has not asked for one.

Also, there is still something in the back of my mind as to why she 
asked Snape for help in HBP and better yet, why  Snape 
accepted...Are her subtle gestures, slight nod of head, a few tears 
shed, a touching of the knee clues that she, like Snape is a 
superior leguillimens and occlumens? If so, then there is a great 
deal more meaning to her and Harry's episode in the forrest(or even 
in Madame Maulkins in HBP), and perhaps why Snape so willingly makes 
an UV in/at Spinner's End.

I dunno, we find out in DH that Snape's initial motivations for 
finishing DD off on the tower was not for the safety, health, and 
well being of Draco but DD's request--and that Snape questions DD's 
request afterwards yet again. OTOH we have Snape making a UV with 
Cissy... Is this yet another plot hole...or is something else going 
on here. Did she only find out too late that Draco had already been 
given the dark mark, therefore Voldie could show up anytime? Was she 
waiting in the hopes that Lucius would escape/be released from 
Azkaban and plead to her husbands best friend who was also Voldie's 
right hand man?

 We see Cissy calling the shots for her family in DH, yet we never 
see her trying to run...in Ch.1 we see her sitting around said 
table, but she still has no dark mark.
